MIKROFINE® ADC-F3

Azodicarbonamide. Acts as a blowing agent. It is a free flowing powder providing minimum agglomeration. Offers excellent dispersion. It can be incorporated into rubber compounds at the end of the mixing process and disperses easily in all compounds, even with relatively low viscosity. It is ideal for metering in hopper blender units on extruders and injection molding machines. Specially developed to produce white foams in PVC plastisol applications where it can be incorporated into PVC-plastisol as a dry powder during the normal mixing cycle and a pre-dispersion in a plasticizer is also not needed. It vulcanizes with fine, uniform cell structure and smooth surface can be obtained without imparting any discoloration or odour to the vulcanizates. Compatible with variety of polymers like plasticized or unplasticized PVC, HDPE, LDPE, EVA co-polymers, natural rubber,synthetic rubber, polypropylene and ABS. Recommended for wall papers, artificial leather cloth, floor and wall coverings, thermo insulating materials, insulating sealant, carpet backing, door sealing strips, profiles, sheets, automotive components, foot wear midsoles and insoles. Suitable for extrusion and injection molding. The dosage rate is 0.5 - 6.0 PHR depending on the polymer used and the extent of expansion required.
